Even more glorious today than they were last week, here are some of my rose bushes. First photo: roses planted in 2008. Second photo: roses planted in 2011. All of them are tributes to honor my sister's life. I definitely feel her....and with these, I can see her.
And this one, called Daring Spirit, was a special gift from two friends in remembrance of my Grandma Kelly after she departed for heaven two years ago at age 102. This is the first big bloom I've gotten since it was planted. It smells good too!
Graham spent the weekend planting shrubs and filling the planters and bird feeders. The yard is a menagerie. Butterflies, bees, birds, bunnies and a family of kittens are regular visitors....and our goldfish pond is thriving as the fish are entering their third season here. Pool is open, beach towels are washed, (still have to blow up all the floaties) but we are ready for warmer temps...bring on summer!
